Miller deserves his spot - theres little doubt he has given our fwd line much needed structure which has brought TV and the smalls into it. Leave him in and let Griffiths/Post and co watch and learn

Don't understand the point of this thread after the win today
Miller has been a key part of our forward line functioning so well in our 3 straight wins

I am sure he will step aside when someone is demanding his spot, but until then he stays, there is no rush to get Griffiths playing, we just need to make sure his body is 100% ready

It was in the main on how well Griffiths will fit in when he gets back.
Couldn't help myself had to have a dig at Miller to finish off.

Would have had no problem with the thread if you only made it about Griffiths, the dig at Miller was completely unnecessary
He's a Richmond player now, he's playing well, bloody support him as he's not holding any of our kids back and we are playing much better with him in the side

may not be the most talented footballer but he's got some smarts has Miller.

at one stage his opponent had a free kick/mark and the ball was at Millers feet. Three times he acted as if he was going to pick it up before the freo bloke woke up that he had no intention of picking it up and went and got it himself.

A smart ploy that bought the team time to set up their defensive patterns.  :thumbsup

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

agree with comments that miller deserves his spot and that he has straightened us up. He makes a contest

Fair enough he holds his spot 'Just' at the moment doesn't mean I have to like him.
And I support the whole team every Bloody week, in Melbourne at least! and a couple away.

Griffiths will be an excellent inclusion I reckon.

Miller has straightened us up and he has demanded a defender which has freed up Jack.
Dare I say it we may have had an extra win if MIller was in the side from Round 1.
That's the beauty of it he knows once Post, Griifiths, Astbury whoever makes CHF their own he is in the side and that has enabled him to be himself and contribute.
As someone posted we have done worse with our drafting from players from other clubs over the years.

Spot on  :thumbsup

I know this thread is about Griff but since we are talking about Miller, did anyone see yesterday when Miller kicked that goal in the last quarter, Jack came up to him and gave him advice on kicking for goal. It was just something short and simple and I think it was something to do with his drop of the footy to his foot, but it worked. Jack is more than just a star full forward, he is a leader and lives and breaths this wonderful club.
With blokes like Newey, Cotch and Jack leading this club, we are in great hands.

Thanks WP. I feel a little better now.

Has Griff had surgery before?

I remember talking to him last year (beginning of 2010) just after he had some surgery to his shoulder and I asked him that question. He said then that NO he hadn't had a shoulder reco and that the surgery like a clean-ups of the joint.

this time round he has had a full shoulder reco

I remember you saying this WP.

Good signs
Go Tigers!
